COPS, GUNS, CRIME AND THE O.K. CORRAL

Sitting on my den wall is a color photograph taken of the 100t OFFICERS h Anniversary of the Gunfight at the OK Corral, taken INSIDE the Corral, at the exact spot where it happened.
     I keep it as a remembrance of the values of  my Country the erosion the past 8 years and what our
current president, Donald Trump, is trying to do to save us.
     The brothers Earp and Dr. Holliday were trying to maintain order that day, and nearly lost their lives.
    It makes me think of that abortion of justice in Baltimore that we all witnessed AGAINST the police  and how they were eventually vindicated.
     I watch the TV show COPS, religiously. The lives of those folks on the thin blue line are in danger as they try to deliver service calls for these reasons: - BASED ON Five AREAS OF DISTURBANCE: drunks, drugs,sex, robbery. family fights

     Their typical day wavers between taking out (in) our trash off the street, writing tickets, arresting drunks, finding little lost kids, and moments of sheer, live-threatening terror.
    What we ask our police forces to do in our name is both commendable and abhorrant. The crap they have to put up with off the street rabble the average citizen wouldn't. Psychology Today magazine once did a study of the Police and concluded that after five years on the job, the average officer divided the general public into two classifications: a/  COPS, AND  b/ axxholes.
    Personally, I've quizzed policeman from Philadelphia to Tucson with the same question and they all agreed. I can't blame them.
